Vegan Ribs ~ By Chef Mark Anthony

Vegan Ribs
¾ cup Vital Wheat Gluten Flour
¼ cup Rice Flour
1 cup water
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 Tbsp Beefless Base
1 cup BBQ sauce
6 Cinnamon sticks

Precooking and freezing permits quick reheating for (almost) immediate consumption. YUMMO~

Mix flours with garlic and onion. In a separate container, mix water with beefless base. Combine the two into a lose dough that doesn't hold together. If it is holding together too tight, add some water. Spray a sheet pan. We are making the ribs by spreading out the bottom first, about ¼ inch thick and 2inch by 3inch. Then place the cinnamon sticks on top. The next step is to put a duplicated layer of the gluten mixture on the top of the cinnamon stick and do a little pressing and forming to create a rib shaped rib looking produce. Bake in a preheated 300 degree oven for 40 minutes, flipping the ribs every 10 minutes. Now they are ready to fridge, freeze or finish cooking. To finish cooking, splash with BBQ sauce and bake at 400 degrees for about 7 minutes on each side, or grill on the charbroiler, or pan fry to get some glazing on the ribs. This High cooking will give them the real rib look. You can also do another splashing of BBQ sauce right before serving.
